Hi My sister has been secretly having an affair with a boy of different caste/social background without any of our knowledge since last four years. All the while asking my parents to look for prospective grooms in our community. And rejecting them on one reason or other. Recently her affair came to light and we told her it's unacceptable to us but she is free to do as she likes. Since then she has been emotionally and psychologically abusing my parents to accept that guy and marry her with all pomp and glory. That boy also bragged into our house unannounced to for us. He even sent me a abusive mail for advicing my sister against this relationship. My parents are old and have health issues. She and that boy are causing too much tensions. Is there any legal action we can take against them to stop their harassment! Just want to be left alone.

4. In the 2nd case your parents and you are at liberty to accept of reject the fiancee of your sister as her prospective groom for which they can not insist or demand.
5. So, if you find that they are continuing to harass you, audio/video record the same and lodge a police complaint against both of them for abusing and harassing the entire family including your aged parents demanding that you all should spend huge sum of amount to arrange for their marriage.
If you or your parents do not approve her proposal to marry a person of different community and if you feel this would be against your family's name or reputation, you may inform your sister that she is at liberty to marry anyone of her choice but she should leave the house to fulfill her desire.
Your parents may strictly inform her that she will not be allowed to stay in the house to carry on the proposed wedding with the groom against their wishes, hence she should leave the house.
You all can stop talking or having any relationship with her, ignore her in the same house itself, do not entertain any demand from her for anything besides this.
You cannot compel her to abide by your dictates in this regard because she is an adult and she has rights to choose her life.
Legally you cannot stop her from going ahead with her proposal, if the property belongs to yor parents, they may ask her to leave the hose and may also restrict her boy friend's entry into the house.
If he indulges in any undesirable activity agaisnt your parents or you, a criminal complaint may be lodged agaisnt him for this offence.

Is there anything I as her sister take action against her for the stress and to have my keys back? There is no telling what she will do. Give her boyfriend and his friends to come home and harass my parents.
